Explore the
living relationships among humans, animals, ancestors and supernatural
beings through works of Native art from the Pacific Northwest Coast
created during the past 200 years.
Ceremonial regalia, trade goods and art sold in galleries today reveal
creative expressions of family, heritage, politics and commerce in a
changing world.

Raven's Many Giftspresents artworks that
convey broadly shared aesthetic and cultural traditions while
emphasizing the distinctiveness of various indigenous communities and
their artists. The themes - Living Stories, Family Connections and
Market Innovations - feature objects from PEM's renowned collection of
Native American art from the Northwest Coast. The Raven in the
installation's title is the Northwest Coast culture hero who brought
light to the world.
